Rod,
Could you post the gcode file you were trying to load.

No Need
You are not allowing for comments so probably should throw away anything after a ( or a ; to be more robust.)

OK, replace line 24 with:
a,b = line.lower().strip().split('p',1)Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

Perfect thanks Phill, I had to put my comments back into the post!
For those following, I've attached a zip file containing the post, the output and a dxf file to practice with.
Make a new tool called CenterPunch, create a new layer called holes, move the holes to that layer. apply a drill operation with the CenterPunch tool. Make sure the min and max hole is big enough in that operation 12mm or 1/2" should do.
Then add a plasma tool on the remaining elements on the base layer and run the post processor
There are a couple of G1's and G0's on a line on their own. This is a Sheetcam thing and the files cut fine.
@John,
I have left these variables in the post but they are not referenced
Do we need them?
@Stephan
@Pedro
calling those who are using the Hypertherm RS485 interface.
How are you using it to set amps and pressure?
There is a flag in the post to enable Full comms, let me know how we should fold that in.
I was kind thinking it should be simple so that a separate analog pin for each setting so that M68/M67 could be used to set these parameters from the Gcode. eg
I think plasmac has done enough so these would be linked to the sheetcam post variables.
And remind me to put some GPL comments in th e post.

Rod,
It may be better to start a new thread called 'SheetCam with plasmac' or similar for this as it is more SheetCam related than plasmac.
Cheers, Phill.

Yes, lets continue the conversation on the existing thread here here
But at least for completeness, we've got everything here around today's effort! It just gets better and better!

Phill, you forgot this in plasmac_gcode.py
But I have it going now!
#first, last = line.lower().strip().split('p')
first,last = line.lower().strip().split('p',1) But I have it going now!
